They are still there. But they are hidden by the pollution and by the lights. The city of Lights has so many lights that it overpowers the light of the stars.
If you live near a major city the starlight is likely drowned out be the bright city lights. Smog could also obscure the stars.
You see more stars in the country because you are farther away from the bright city lights that drown out the dimmer light of the stars.
You can see the most stars in areas with minimal light pollution, such as remote locations or designated dark sky areas. These locations provide optimal conditions for stargazing and offer the best views of the night sky.
The city lights shimmered like a blanket of stars spread across the night sky.
Because usually in the country, there is less "light pollution" in the form of street lights, house lights, etc. When it's darker in your immediate surroundings, the sky is easier to see. Plus, there is usually less air pollution as well. This is why most astronomical observatories using light-collecting telescopes are found far out in the country, and/or on top of mountains - clear air, less light, etc etc.
Yes; its main stars are bright enough to be seen even with normal city lights.

You can't see stars in New York City because there are so many bright lights being illuminated from the buildings, that it is surrounding the city in a bubble of light, where the light from the surrounding city is overwhelming your eyes, and since there is so much light, your eye can only receive the overwhelming city lights that are a few feet away from you, and cannot receive the lights from stars billions of miles away from you.
This is due to light pollution. The glow of the city lights can conceal stars.

Only at night, and outside. Although Sao Paulo has the same problems with seeing stars as any city does; the city lights are so bright that you can only see the brighter stars.
Yes, their light in the sky reduces the contrast making it harder to see the fainter stars.
Las Vegas city lights are too bright to see any stars. The local lights reflect off the particles in the atmosphere and reduce your sensitivity to light. they are there, you can't see them because the stars are "drown" in the light... just like in the daytime. the stars are there in the daytime, but the sun makes it too bright to see them. get away from the city lights and there will be stars. You can also see a glowing dome over Vegas if you look at it from a distance.
When you're in a place where there is less lights, like in the country in Texas or some other uninhibited place in America. Like Montana. If you're in a city with lots of bright lights you can't see the stars because the lights shine them out.
Cities in general are bad places to see stars. You need to get out into the country, away from the city lights.
The stars are always there, it just doesnt seem like it when there are many city lights, or if its a cloudy night.
More stars are visible in villages than cities because of lower light pollution, allowing the night sky to shine brighter. City lights overpower the starlight, making it harder to see the stars clearly.
